So the other day i come across a very interesting licensed Floyd rose bridge that my Luthier gave to me. The strings would appear to go through the middle of the locking bolts? It doesn't look the speedloaders I have seen

I had a Kahler Floyd like that. Not double locking = not as good.-------------------------

My low-end 1999 RG has a single lock trem like this:
You just insert the strings through the bolts and the ball holds them in place, like a string-through. Locks normally at the nut. I think it holds tuning ok, but a real floyd holds and feels better. Never really abused a trem though, so YMMV.Comment

Yep, that's similar to what was known as a Floyd Rose 3.Originally posted by Pointy View PostMy low-end 1999 RG has a single lock trem like this:

There was a Floyd Rose 2 before that which was also single-locking from the mid '80s.

Schaller eventually changed the Floyd II into double-locking which is like their own Schaller version.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Single locking is not bad, per se. However, you have to stretch the strings unlike with a double locking setup.-------------------------

And soldering the ball ends of the strings will also help, just some people do on a Kahler, to help stay in tune better.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Toejam, are you saying to completely fill the ball end with solder?1989 Magenta Charvel 650XL (Now my main guitar) , 1989 White Charvel 650XL, 1989 Trans Amber 750 XL, 1989 Cherry Sunburst 750XL Abortion,1990 Jackson soloist ATT pro Trans Red, 1993 Jackson Dinky Std Black with pick guard , 1992 Jackson Stealth Ex repainted, 1994 JDR-94, 1994 JDR-94, 1995 DR3 (Old Main Guitar) trans purple quilted maple picture , 2002 RR5 white and gold, 1988 Model 4 cobalt blue, 1993 Jackson Fusion Std black, 1990's Alvarez Fusion acoustic electric cutaway, 2009 Alvarez AD60ck Koa acoustic electric cutaway.
